Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving towards Ljubelj. Just before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we leave the main road and we continue driving right in the direction of Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič in the direction of gorge Dolžanova soteska, and then at the end of the town we continue right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. When we get to Grahovše we drive on the road to the nearby quarry, by which there is a marked parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road by which we've parked and already after few steps we come at two crossroads. In the first crossroad we continue straight (right over a bridge is a village) in second we come to mountain signposts.
Here we go left on the upper path with signs Javornik, Stegovnik and Bela peč. The road here starts moderately ascending and in parts runs over panoramic meadows. The road then brings us to the next crossroad where we go again left (right farm Rekar).
The road then crosses private land, where there is a gate and soon after that, it comes to the next crossing. Here we continue on the right road in the direction of the mountain pasture Javornik. The road from here ahead for some time runs almost horizontal, but then again starts ascending and it brings us to a smaller hamlet. Here we continue ahead on the road which is slowly turning towards the left. Soon and then the road makes a right turn and it brings us to a signpost, where the path to Bela peč branches off to the left.
Here we continue ahead on the road and we follow it to the spot where it starts descending. After few meters of descent we will on the right side notice cottage Pr Zdravc, to which we have only few steps.
From the cottage, we continue forward on a bad road which is descending a little, and we follow it only few minutes to the nearby crossing, by which stands a memorial plaque.
Here we go right on a cart track which starts ascending. After few minutes of walking, we come out of the forest and then we soon come to the mountain pasture, where there are few cottages.
Further, we continue straight upwards at first by the fence and then on a beaten footpath through a meadow. After a little less than 30 minutes of walking on a moderately steep slope we reach the panoramic peak.
Quarry - cottage Pr Zdravc 2:00, cottage Pr Zdravc - Planina Javornik 15 minutes, Planina Javornik - Veliki Javornik 30 minutes.
